    WINDS OF THE OLD DAYS
  • (Words and Music by Joan Baez)
     
    The lady's adrift in a foreign land
  • Singing on issues both humble and grand
    A decade flew past her and there on the page
    She read that the prince had returned to the stage
  • Hovering near treacherous waters
    A friend saw her drifting and caught her
    Unguarded fantasies flying too far
  • Memories tumbling like sweets from a jar
     
     
  • And take me down to the harbor now
    Grapes of the summer are low on the bough
    Ghosts of my history will follow me there
  • And the winds of the old days will blow through my hair
     
     
  • Breath on an undying ember
    It doesn't take much to remember
    Those eloquent songs from the good old days
  • That set us to marching with banners ablaze
    But reporters, there's no sense in prying
    Our blue-eyed son's been denying
  • The truths that are wrapped in a mystery
    The sixties are over so set him free
     
  •  
    And take me down to the harbor now
    Grapes of the summer are low on the bough
  • Ghosts of my history will follow me there
    And the winds of the old days will blow through my hair
     
  •  
    Why do I sit the autumnal judge
    Years of self-righteousness will not budge
  • Singer or savior, it was his to choose
    Which of us knows what was his to lose
     
  • Because idols are best when they're made of stone
    A savior's a nuisance to live with at home
    Stars often fall, heroes go unsung
  • And martyrs most certainly die too young
     
    So thank you for writing the best songs
  • Thank you for righting a few wrongs
    You're a savage gift on a wayward bus
    But you stepped down and you sang to us
  •  
     
    And get you down to the harbor now
  • Most of the sour grapes are gone from the bough
    Ghosts of Johanna will visit you there
    And the winds of the old days will blow through your hair
